P2ADE: Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor B Circuit
Standardized SAE J2012 code · P2Axx codes
What does P2ADE mean?
The ECM detects a generic fault on the reductant tank B temperature sensor circuit. Reading cannot be used reliably for control.
The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.
Symptoms
- Check engine light or NOx warning on
- AdBlue/DEF level or quality warning
- Possible no-start countdown after ignore period
- Failed emissions inspection (NOx)
Common causes
- High Sensor failed
- Medium Wiring or connector fault
